Prince Dan returned to Jijing and informed Yan Wangxi of the results of his negotiations with Gao Yuan in detail, but concealed the plan he was planning to assassinate Qin Wangzheng.

Originally, Prince Dan expected that after Yan Wangxi heard it, he would have two reactions, one was to be furious, shoot the case, and then resolutely fight to the death with the Wu'an army; The second is full of sorrow, lamenting and sighing, and even crying and shouting. But I saw that Yan Wangxi's eyebrows were slightly raised, and there seemed to be a hint of joy in his eyes.

Prince Dan was a little puzzled, and asked tentatively: "What does my father think about the conditions on the plateau?" ”

Yan Wang Xi waved his hand and said: "The matter has come to this point, the widow has no choice, if he refuses the conditions of the plateau again, he breaks through Jijing, then my Yan Guozong Temple will be destroyed, the mausoleum will be destroyed, and what kind of face does the widow have to go to see the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom in the ground?" Therefore, as long as the Yan State Sect can be preserved, the widow will not hesitate to pay a price, and any conditions can only be agreed. After a pause, he said: "Gold is just something outside the body, and the grain can be stored for a few more years, and there will be more, and what Gao Yuan said is not wrong, these things can't let the office go out, Xiangguo, Da Sima, and Liaoyang Jun They should also share some for the country, and the extra gold and grain will be made up by them, not to mention that this time the plateau did not ask me Yan Guo to cede the land, and the grate is very good, Dan'er, this time you negotiated with the plateau very well." ”

Prince Dan said: "But Gao Yuan not only detained all the Yan army prisoners, but also asked us to send all the families of these soldiers out, Erchen calculated, this is almost a total of 400,000 people." ”

King Yan sighed happily and said, "Let the people of my Yan country be exiled to another country, and the widow will feel uncomfortable, but what can I do now?" Preserving the rituals is the most important thing. These people of Yan can only give up. And the Yan soldiers who were captured by the plateau, he will definitely not let them back, and send the families of these soldiers to them, so that they can be reunited as a family in a foreign country, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune. ”

When Prince Dan heard this, although he felt that what Yan Wangxi said made some sense, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, so he had to say: "Since this is the case, according to my father's words, when does my father plan to inform the ministers?" ”

Yan Wang Xi said: "Don't hesitate, the widow will immediately recruit the ministers and inform them." Everything else is easy to do, but you will be responsible for the matter of counting the families of the relocated soldiers, this matter is very important, and only you can reassure the widow. ”

Prince Dan hurriedly said: "Erchen respects the order." ”

Yan Wangxi suddenly whispered: "Dan'er, there is one thing you should pay attention to, after the families of these soldiers are moved, their fields will become borderless land, you must immediately include these fields as the property of the office, and you must not let other clans and clans rob it, so that the property of the office is expected to increase greatly, and the income in the future can also increase some." ”

Prince Dan was stunned for a while, and finally felt that something was wrong there, although he felt that the conditions proposed by the plateau were too harsh, but Yan Wang Xi did not feel anything bad, the reason is that as long as the plateau does not enter Jijing, then Yan Wangxi's throne can be kept, as long as the throne can be kept, so what conditions can not be agreed?

It was only at this time that Tai Xiaodan realized that he was still a little tender compared to his father. And at this moment, Tai Xiaodan thought again, Gao Yuan dared to put forward such harsh and harsh conditions, did he have already calculated Yan Wangxi's mentality, so he had no fear. Thinking of Gao Yuan somehow knowing that he was planning a plan to assassinate Qin, it seems that although this person is not very old, his scheming and wisdom are really terrifying.

Yan Wangxi didn't care what Prince Dan thought, and immediately ordered to recruit all the ministers to go to the court, after all, it was not enough just for the two to discuss it, and it was necessary to persuade the ministers of Yan State that they would also force Honggao, Cavalry, and Liaoyang Jun to make up their share, and the plateau only gave Yan Guo one day, so it was not okay not to hurry.

Because all the ministers knew that Prince Dan went out of the city early in the morning to negotiate peace with the plateau, and after Prince Dan came back, Yan Wangxi would definitely gather all the ministers to gather, so they were almost all waiting at home, and after Yan Wangxi gave the order, the ministers quickly gathered in the main hall.

After Yan Wangxi announced the conditions proposed by the plateau, it immediately caused a burst of discussion among the ministers, and Honggao immediately jumped out and said: "King, the plateau is obviously going to drag my Yan country, so these conditions must not be agreed, otherwise my Yan country will be in danger, dangerous, too misleading the country, too misleading the country." ”

The cavalry also said: "King, although our army has been defeated twice, there are still forty or fifty thousand soldiers in the city, and if the strong men in the families of the ministers are organized, there can be tens of thousands of people, and then the young and middle-aged women in the city will be recruited, and the soldiers will not be less than 100,000, and it is more than enough to guard Jijing." ”

Liaoyang Jun also said: "King, we can follow the words of the prime minister, on the one hand, to recruit troops to defend the city, and on the other hand, to ask for help from the Qin State, we can solve the danger of the Yan State, so the king must not agree to the conditions of the plateau." ”

It turned out that after the dispersal of the dynasty yesterday, the three of them discussed together for half the night, and finally decided that if it was still the previous conditions, then forget it, but if the plateau raised the conditions, then the three of them would oppose it together, and at the same time put the spearhead on Prince Dan again. Of course, the three of them were also prepared, immediately transferred their property, and once Jijing was breached, they fled to Liaodong to avoid the Wu'an army, and then asked Qin to send troops.

And the three of them spoke, and their henchmen also agreed, and at one time almost half of the ministers demanded that they refuse to agree to the conditions of the plateau. The other half of the ministers wanted to make peace with Gao Yuan, but they felt that these conditions were too harsh, and they were in a dilemma, so they had to keep silent.

Yan Wangxi frowned and said: "Now asking for help from the Qin State, it is also far away that the water does not quench the thirst of the near, in case the Qin army does not arrive, Jijing has been broken, so what can I do." ”

Honggao hurriedly said: "King, if Jijing City is broken, we can retreat to Liaodong to wait for the Qin army, as long as the Qin army arrives, we can recapture Jijing and turn the crisis into safety." ”

Yan Wangxi was furious, slapped the book case, and said sharply: "Ignorance, the national capital is still the foundation of a country, Jijing City is broken, what should I do with the temple?" What to do with the mausoleums of the ancestors of the past dynasties, the former King Ping moved eastward and gave up the birthplace of the Zhou family, which was the beginning of the weakening of the Zhou family, how could my Yan Kingdom repeat the mistakes of the past. Originally, the day before yesterday I promised to make peace with the plateau, and I was already safe and sound, but you waited for all kinds of obstructions, and insisted on fighting with the Wu'an army, but you returned with a miserable defeat, and the troops were dismantled, so that there is the current crisis. ”

Everyone didn't expect that Yan Wangxi would suddenly become angry, and everyone was a little at a loss, and the entire hall was quiet for a while.

After a while, King Yan said happily: "The widow's will has been decided, for the temple sacrifice, the ancestors of the past generations of mausoleum plans, can only agree to the conditions of the plateau." After a pause, he said: "The rest is paid by the office, but the additional gold, grain and grass are paid by the three of you, Xiangguo, Da Sima, and Liaoyang Jun." ”

When the three of them heard this, they were all taken aback, although these three people were all members of the Yan Kingdom and had strong financial resources, but the three of them shared 4,000 eridium gold and 400,000 stone grain, which would also consume more than half of the wealth of the three people. What's more, the three of them did not represent them personally, but the entire family, and after spending so much gold and grain at once, the three of them couldn't explain to the family, so the three of them immediately spoke one after another to oppose Yan Wangxi's decision. Of course, they can't say that they oppose it because they have to pay for it themselves, they can only say that they oppose making peace with the plateau.

At this time, Yan Wangxi slapped the table again and said, "Enough." If you still insist on not making peace with the plateau, then early tomorrow morning, the three of you will lead the army out of the city and defeat the Wu'an army, and the soldiers in the city will be called by the three of you. ”

The three of them were stupid all of a sudden, now let the three of them go out of the city to defeat the Wu'an Army, and let the three of them go to death, and the three of them also know that now Yan Wangxi is really anxious, and officially have a showdown with the three of them, if the three of them still insist on not making peace with the plateau, maybe Yan Wangxi will really do something to them, even if Yan Wangxi does not dare to kill them, but the positions of the three can be removed, and once the positions of the three are removed, Yan Wangxi will still force the three to bleed, so unless the three of them immediately raise troops to launch a coup d'état and kill Yan Wangxi, Another Yan Wang, otherwise he can only honestly agree to pay money and support Yan Wang Xi to make peace with the plateau.

But now the three of them, including their families, do not have the strength to launch a coup d'état, first, the time is too urgent, the coup is not something that can be decided today and can be played tomorrow, and the three of them have no preparation for a coup d'état at all; Second, after the two defeats, the prestige of the three in the DPRK has now plummeted, and even if a coup d'état is launched, it will be difficult to get the support of the majority of ministers; The third is that now the Wu'an army is outside the city, even if the three of them successfully launched a coup d'état, it will definitely cause chaos in Jijing City, and it is likely that the Wu'an army will be changed, so that the Wu'an army will capture Jijing lightly, and let the Wu'an army occupy Jijing, and the result of the three will be even worse.

Therefore, after some consideration, the three of them could only accept this reality, and reluctantly agreed to Yan Wangxi's request, and the three families shared 4,000 Eridium gold and 400,000 stone grain equally.

These three people are all soft, and the other ministers naturally have nothing to say, just talk about peace, anyway, they don't have any losses, in case they provoke King Yan, and King Yan likes to pull himself in to share a little gold grain, then it will be a big loss. Therefore, it is better to honestly agree.

Seeing that there was no opposition from the minister, Yan Wangxi also nodded with satisfaction, and ordered Prince Dan to go out of the city to the front plateau early tomorrow morning, and informed him that Yan Guo had agreed to his conditions to prevent the Wu'an army from attacking Jijing, and at the same time ordered to start preparing gold grain. After all, 6,000 eridium gold and 600,000 stone grain are not small numbers, and they can't be collected in a day or two.
